Garden room and parking at Land Adjacent To 1 Coneyberry, Reigate

“This is a full planning application for a change of use of land to residential garden land, the erection of a garden room, boundary fencing and use of land for additional parking.”

“The entirety of the site lies within the urban area and the parcel of land proposed to be incorporated as residential garden/parking land ancillary to the application property is not designated as Urban Open Space. It is a relatively small parcel of land and not considered to be of any significant amenity value. Therefore, the proposed incorporation of the land as residential land for the application property is considered to be acceptable in principle.”

“The proposed 1m tall front boundary treatments would broadly reflect the character of the street, retaining openness to the property frontage and streetscene. The proposed garden structure would be set back from the highway and appear as an inconspicuous garden building. There would be a spread of hardstanding to accommodate two additional off-street parking spaces however the property frontage would not appear unduly harsh or urbanised within the wider context.”

“Tree Officer: No Objection subject to a condition is imposed to ensure adequate tree protection measures are installed.”

“Letters were sent to neighbouring properties on 09 March 2026.”

“The Committee felt that it would be preferable for the fence to become weathered rather than being stained.”

“RESOLVED that planning permission be GRANTED subject to conditions as per the recommendation and addendum, however the condition relating to staining be removed.”
